Enabling GVRP
To enable GVRP, enter commands such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
device(config)#gvrp-enable
device(config-gvrp)#enable all
The first command globally enables support for the feature and changes the CLI to the GVRP
configuration level. The second command enables GVRP on all ports on the device.
The following command enables GVRP on ports 1/24, 2/24, and 4/17.
device(config-gvrp)#enable ethernet 1/24 ethernet 2/24 ethernet 4/17
Syntax: [no] gvrp-enable
Syntax: [no] enable all | ethernet port [ethernet port | to port]
The all keyword enables GVRP on all ports.
To specify a list of ports, enter each port as ethernet port followed by a space. For example, ethernet
1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17
To specify a range of ports, enter the first port in the range as ethernet port followed by the last port in
the range. For example, ethernet 1/1 to 1/8 .
You can combine lists and ranges in the same command. For example: enable ethernet 1/1 to 1/8
ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17.
Disabling VLAN advertising
To disable VLAN advertising on a port enabled for GVRP, enter a command such as the following at the
GVRP configuration level.
device(config-gvrp)#block-applicant ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17
This command disables advertising of VLAN information on ports 1/24, 6/24, and 8/17.
Syntax: [no] block-applicant all | ethernet port [ethernet port | to port]
NOTE
Leaveall messages are still sent on the GVRP ports.
The all keyword disables VLAN advertising on all ports enabled for GVRP.
To specify a list of ports, enter each port as ethernet port followed by a space. For example, ethernet
1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17
To specify a range of ports, enter the first port in the range as ethernet port followed by the last port in
the range. For example, ethernet 1/1 to 1/8 .
You can combine lists and ranges in the same command. For example: enable ethernet 1/1 to 1/8
ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17.
